lyrics

Me and Billy Jack, in his read car
The silence great, home so far
The truth was a song, lost to the dark
We sat together, so far apart

How was I to ask a dying man
Where to find the strength to carry on
How was I to know back then
That this, was the last ride home

Me and Billy Jack, just him and I
The peace we shared, the final lie
The highway stretched out, into the night
All we could do was drive and deny

How was I to ask a dying man
Where to find the courage to be strong
How was I to know back then
That this, was the last ride home

The silence we shared was so us
The past is a gravestone in granite and dust
The peace that we found there at the end
Was so me and him, it was the best

How was I to ask a dying man
Where to find the strength to carry on
What if I’m doing all I can
What if I’m doing it all wrong
Where does this heartache end
Will these dreams leave me alone
Where does the falling sky land
Here, on the last ride home
